Question

Explain how to write an equivalent expression using the associative property.
2+(11+y) ​

Answer 1

(2+11)+y

Explanation:

The associtive property is rearranging the position of the parethesis. So it would be (2+11)+y

I can check if it's equivalent by solving the expressions.

2+(11+y)=13+y

(2+11)+y =13+y

They are equivelent
